Environmental

Over the past decade or so the engineering discipline of safety has been increasingly concerned with the environment. While as safety engineering considers the impact of systems upon people; environmental engineering considers the impact of systems upon the environment (i.e. their carbon-footprint).

Gareth has been involved with assessing Environmental impact for several large IT projects from the London Organising Committee of the 2012 Olympic Games to the MoD. Producing Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and following the MoD's POEMS (Project Oriented Environmental Management System).
